Sr. Construction Category Analyst

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.

About Our Team

We are a global, cross-functional team spanning Procurement, Facilities/Construction, Facilities & Process Engineering, Project Controls/Contracts, Finance, Operations, and Business Analytics. Our mission is to improve capex predictability, strengthen commercial rigor, and drive measurable cost performance across semiconductor fab construction, cleanroom, chemical building, and process-utility infrastructure. We enable fact-based decisions through sophisticated analytics, supplier intelligence, and standardized commercial practices.

Position Overview

The Senior Construction Category Analyst leads global construction cost analytics, should-cost/clean-sheet modeling, risk modeling, forecasting, and full lifecycle change-order management for large-scale semiconductor capital programs. This role conducts competitive bid analysis, evaluates supplier proposals, and develops data-driven sourcing recommendations to improve capex predictability and deliver hard savings and cost avoidance. The position partners closely with cross-functional collaborators to standardize tools, processes, and reporting that improve commercial consistency.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Category & Commercial Analytics
• Lead end-to-end bid analytics (RFP analysis, bid tabulation, scope normalization, bid leveling) for global construction and semiconductor infrastructure packages.
• Support sourcing across Cost Plus, GMP, Lump Sum, Unit-Rate/SOV, and T&M models, including evaluation of fees/markups, blocking issue, contingency, LD/bonus mechanisms, bonding/insurance, payment terms, and schedule impacts.
• Drive change-order commercial evaluations (rate validation, markup verification, price reasonableness) and manage full lifecycle change-order governance (tracking, forecasting exposure, schedule/cost impact analysis, contract compliance).
• Cost Modeling, Benchmarking & Risk
• Develop and maintain should-cost and clean-sheet models for fab, cleanroom, chemical building, and process-utility scopes (labor, materials, equipment, indirects, overhead/fee, contingency, blocking issue).
• Build/update benchmarking baselines to compare cost competitiveness across regions and project types.
• Apply sophisticated risk methodologies (sensitivity, probabilistic, scenario/Monte Carlo) and create forecasting models for cost overruns/underruns incorporating trends, change-exposure, market conditions, productivity, and supplier performance.
• Cost Analytics, Reporting & Insights
• Analyze cost drivers and variances; identify risks, opportunities, and market trends for mega-capital programs.
• Develop reports, dashboards, risk heatmap, and scenario analyses using Excel, Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Snowflake, Python (or similar).
• Provide quantitative insights to strengthen budget alignment, capex predictability, and strategic sourcing recommendations.
• Performance Tracking, Data Integrity & Governance
• Track cost performance against budgets, risk allowances, and commercial assumptions across workstreams and projects.
• Maintain accuracy and integrity of cost, benchmarking, bid, change-order, and supplier datasets for reporting and analytics.
• Standardize tools, templates, processes, and reporting systems to improve predictability and commercial consistency.
• Executive Communication & Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Prepare and present executive-ready summaries of analytical findings, sourcing recommendations, risk insights, change-order exposure, and cost-reduction opportunities.
• Partner with Procurement, Engineering, Construction, Finance, Operations, and Project Controls to drive continuous improvement and negotiation readiness using should-cost models and supplier intelligence.
  

Minimum Qualifications

• Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Supply Chain, Construction Management, Civil/Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
• 10 years in cost management/controls, cost modeling, sophisticated analytics, and commercial bid analytics within global construction capital projects (e.g., cleanroom, hospital, pharma, or high-tech manufacturing).
• Demonstrated experience in bid evaluation (bid tabs, scope normalization, bid leveling) and delivery models (Cost Plus, GMP, Lump Sum, Unit-Rate/SOV, T&M).
• Proven change-order management experience, including rate validation, markup verification, exposure forecasting, and schedule/cost impact assessments.
• Hands-on proficiency with analytics tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, SQL, Snowflake, Python) and ERP/project systems (e.g., SAP, Ariba, Procore).
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced risk modeling experience (e.g., probabilistic/Monte Carlo, scenario modeling) applied to capex and construction risk evaluation.
• Demonstrated success delivering hard savings and cost avoidance using should-cost/clean-sheet methodologies in semiconductor or controlled-environment facilities.
• Experience building global/regional benchmarking baselines and market intelligence for supplier competitiveness and sourcing strategy.
• Proven ability to standardize commercial tools, templates, and reporting frameworks to improve cost governance across large portfolios.
• Strong track record supporting competitive negotiations with fact-based analytics, supplier intelligence, and total cost modeling.
